The official go-ahead for the project to build one of the largest public charging parks for electric commercial vehicles was given in August in the presence of Bavaria’s Minister President Dr Markus Söder and members of the Executive Board of FC Bayern and MAN Truck & Bus. High-power and megawatt charging points are to be built in three planned expansion stages on the southern bus car park of the Allianz Arena. A total of 30 charging points are planned. This will allow up to 500 electric buses and lorries to be charged every day. The Allianz Arena has a very powerful power grid that is only fully utilised on match days.
It therefore offers the ideal conditions for setting up a commercial vehicle charging park. It is also located directly at the busy Munich North motorway junction with its own motorway access: Up to 10,000 lorries a day pass through this important junction for the entire European road freight transport network.
